The statement some
of Malay and Non Muslim leaders who do not agree with Bill 355, which aims to
increase the jurisdiction of the Sharia Court, is regrettable.

When the Bill 355
brought to parliament for debate, so it's not a violation of the federal
Constitution as alleged by some leaders. If it conflicts with the constitution
it does not need to be discussed and should only be executed without being
brought to parliament.

355 Bill just to
upgrade Sharia law in line with civil law and it is typical for Muslims who
commits a criminal offense according to Islamic jurisprudence.

Why there are still
those disputing the laws of Islam, while it seeks to prevent criminals from
making chaos and harmony in the country.
Their reason why there should be two different punishments while they
commit the same crime.

If you only follow
one set of laws then why should there be Sharia courts and also the Law on
Native Customary Land in Sarawak as an example. Why not just synchronize one of
the national bill, let both accept the same punishment, irrespective of race and
religion.

Of course, many do
not agree because of different faiths and beliefs, so it is recommended for
those who do not know the rights and culture of a people should not meddle in
the affairs of religion and customs of a people if wants to see the people in
this country live in unity and harmony.

We also urge the
Sarawak Mufti to give advice and counsel to the ignorant Muslims with Islam in
order not to speak anything which could harm their faith.

Sarawak PAS fully
support this bill 355 in order to be given the opportunity to be debated in
parliament that those who do not understand or dissatisfaction with bill 355 is
given the opportunity to argue.

To the non-Muslims
please respect the rights of Muslims and do not try to interfere with the
Islamic religion as they do not like us to interfere in their religious
affairs. We should always respect each other despite our different beliefs.

Malaysia practices
the democratic system, why must restrict the right of a people and a religion from
practicing their religion. This is the right of Muslims to perform their
religious obligation and we also call upon the Muslim leaders regardless of
race and political affiliations are equally supportive of this bill 355.

As a Muslim should
they know their rights as Muslims without fear of their position as the
position and the power it can disappear at any time. They should not follow the
instructions of human without thinking of the effect of their deeds in the
hereafter. Allahua'lam (Only Allah Knows)

Mid-Autumn Festival
or a celebration of Moon cake is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of
the Chinese calendar, which in late August to late September. Mid-Autumn
Festival is one of the most important festivals in addition to the Chinese New
Year.

Miri PAS together
with PAS central committee member Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki recently been
distributing moon cakes to the Chinese community in Miri city area and
surrounding residential area in Taman Tunku in Lambir.

The response by the
Chinese community in Miri is very encouraging because PAS was used to
distribute moon cakes each year in the festive season of Moon cake. This proves
that PAS is not an extremist party as depicted by some.

PAS will always
reach out to different communities in the country, regardless of race and
religion. PAS always respect the culture and beliefs of others so that the
people can accept PAS well despite being implicated in a variety of slander,
but all that did not stop PAS to do missionary works and contribute welfare to
people of all races and religions in the country.

When we already
know the culture and beliefs of others this will facilitate our mutual respect
for each other without any sense of prejudice. This is the way PAS closer to
the people and how the best solution for people of all races and religions can
live together in peace and harmony in the country.

All PAS members are
deeply saddened by the news of his death because he was a competent scholar and
always calm face the test. He continues to struggle with PAS to end his life. His
departure is a great loss to the PAS and the country

Sarawak PAS express
condolences to his family and PAS members across the country to persevere and
be patient to face this big test. We have lost a valuable jewel in this
country. May Allah forgive him and put his soul with the spirit of the pious
and devout.

MIRI – Although
many accusations and slander thrown upon Sarawak PAS but the local population
is increasingly accept PAS coming to Sarawak. Local residents can observation
the activities that PAS is more to charity and keep moving with the local
community.

Recently PAS Miri and
PAS Sibuti has been to Bekenu to meet some local residents who are interested to
jointly fought with PAS. They have been watching the movement of PAS working
with local communities. They are very interested in the welfare activities organized
by PAS with local communities even though the election is over, but PAS
community activities continued.

According to one of
the villagers who wished to remain anonymous said that many promises of Barisan
Nasional (BN) which has not been fulfilled. He gave examples such as village roads are
partially completed and some are still not fully paved even during the last
general election there are MPs who promised to tar all village roads with tar
but until today there is still a village road that has not been fully
completed.

They are fed up
with promises of elected representatives during the election that have not been
able fulfilled. They are convinced by joining opposition parties like PAS they
can convey their concerns to the attention of the government. With the
participation of local residents, PAS convinced that one day, PAS can bring
local people's problems more effectively in the assembly / parliament. This is
expectations of the people and PAS solution for the people.

PAS will always be
with the people, regardless of time and will continue to fight for the welfare
of the people regardless of race and religion.
